Salon de Shimaji, Katsuhiko Shimaji's Quote of the Week
2015.12.19 update

Culture is born from romantic extravagance.

Salon de Shimaji is constantly introducing new products and new brands of alcohol!


From among them, we'd like to introduce some of the most popular boutonnieres at Salon de Shimaji.
This elegantly shimmering boutonniere is a rare item made from galuchat (stingray leather). It's currently available in 10 different colors, so you can choose your favorite combination. It seems Ms. Shimaji also enjoys trying out various colors to match her jackets.
SUISHO Boutonniere: ¥9,990 (tax included)



"Everyone, please look at my chest! Isn't this galuchat boutonniere beautiful?"

Everyone seemed very interested, and some were surprised when they heard it was stingray leather.

"If you're interested and want it, it's important to buy it without hesitation! (laughs) Culture is born from this kind of romantic extravagance."


This week's quote
"Culture is born from romantic extravagance."

This week's recommended drink is Ardbeg Uigeadail, one of the new brands. It's a blend of whiskies aged in bourbon casks and sherry casks, characterized by a refreshing peatiness and a mellow sweetness. It has a different flavor from Ardbeg 10 Year Old.
